There is a distribution of Karn's NOS for the IBM with a program called 
SLFP.EXE which is a packet driver for the serial port using a protocol
they call Serial Line Framing Protocol.  This effectively interfaces with
the local protocal converter (I don't know if thats the correct term, but 
it's name is Merit and one dials up with a terminal emulator and you give 
it the name of the system you want to connect to, which it subsequently
telnets to).  

I would like to use AmigaNOS localy, but the SUN's here haven't SLIP, and 
SLIP (which I ftp'd) says it needs to be inserted into the kernal, which, 
not being a superuser, I am unable to do.  SLIP doesn't talk with Merit (I 
tried) but this SLFP does, so I would appreciate it if someone could tell
me where to get it for the Amiga, add it to AmigaNOS, or at least instruct
be on how to get source(or the specification) and instructions on how to 
add it to AmigaNOS.

Sorry about the grammar :)
